No place to hide... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

As much as I've always been fascinated by the house, it seems like there was no really comfortable place in the house. No place where you could just hide away and be alone.

Especially the downstairs. Everything was so...open. Even the family room. You could close the door to the kitchen (if you want to call that a door), but you were still next to a huge sliding glass door that was basically a major entryway.

Not very cozy at all.

Not much privacy in the Brady home. The attic seemed pretty private, but Greg usually had Marcia or Peter up there with him. The parent's room and the den were somewhat private, but not really. Alice could have hidden out in her room, if she didn't have so much work to do.

No wonder Jan wanted to be an only child.

Least the Brady Bunch house had more then 1 or 2 rooms down stairs unlike most sitcom's houses.

Mommay's family living room Bathroom in the living room and Kitchen that is it.

Different Strokes big lving room Kitchen and a balcony, and a little area where a bathroom and bedrom was.

Wasn't there a little place behind the stairs? It always looked to me like there was a hallway or some other little area behind there.

You are right, the Brady's home was like an airport terminal. Everything out in the open. Even Mike's den had those windows to the living room. Even the garage outside was doorless!

The hallway behind the stairs has a bathroom on the right. It also leads to the service porch.

I'm surprised that this "extreme openness" enforced by Mr Brady upon his family, didn't cause one of the boys to rebel and go live with Alice in her private quarters, if for nothing else, just to get away for a while.

Unlike most families, the Bradys didn't seem to mind a little family togetherness.
